I'd say that in the last few months there has been a notable switch away from Blackberry toward iPhone. The phone is just so much more functional, and much less fiddley than anything else, we're often rushing, and it's perfect!</p> I work in the UK Parliament, and we staffers need our phones, and our email, all the time.

It tries to sweep under the rug the fact that Apple ONLY has one phone, and goes against their entire operation. Do they only offer ONE iPod?? Only offer ONE laptop?? ONE desktop?? No. Stupid. It's trying to gloss over the fact that they offer NO choice when it comes to a phone. Don't want your employee's taking pics with their phone?? Gee....what model iPhone would that be?? Need to be able to get in touch with them by email instantly?? Need to forward them a doc that needs correcting?? Hum...not sure we have a model of iPhone for that. I'm sure you could take an iPhone, spend MORE money on it to make these things possible, by why??</p> The entire notion that "one platform is better" is completely stupid.

The only point I'd argue with is on the enterprise investments in RIM. In the current downturn all hardware and software investments are receiving scrutiny. Companies will look for opportunities to do things less expensively. This may hurt RIM because their solution requires a server and users to pick up the cost of running the NOC. Smaller companies are already using cloud-based e-mail and saving money (no I'm not talking MobileMe). I would not be at all shocked to see someone offer a cloud-based enterprise class solution which can do push. RIM's enemy is not going to be others catching up but more the industry moving in another direction. Once enterprise goes RIM is going to have to reposition themselves. We'll see if they can do it.</p> Good write up. The only point I'd argue with is on the enterprise investments in RIM.
